Sat, 29 Sep 2012 06:18:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2031844I watch him play and drop easy balls inside 10 yards than make a tough grab 40 yards down the field and it drives me just as crazy as every other die hard Browns fan. I keep in mind he’s a 2nd year player who is a converted running back who didn’t play his senior year and is still maturing but but realize this is the big boy league where performance is the bottom line.
That said, the thing that keeps hitting me in the face about Little is that nobody, even with his limited experience at the position, gets more wide open than he does. Yes, he drops a 7 yard slant that Mo likely would have sucked up but I guarantee you Greg will have more separation from his defender and that, at least for this season, makes Little worth trying to continue to develop.

Do they sound like people you can trust with your money?

With those 4 picks they got one good player and hes hurt. Talents like Julio rarely come along. Theres a reason why little went in the 2nd and julio went 6th

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 18:11:32 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2030820He’s trying too hard. That’s what all the celebrating is about when he does catch it. He’s trying to psych himself out of the dropsies by over-compensating when he does well. It’s a shame, because he does have a very high ceiling as far as potential goes.

How does Greg Little qualify as a PROFESSIONAL (i.e., paid) wide receiver?

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:49:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2030286I see it as an ‘organization’ problem that the new owner Mr. Haslam will take care of. ‘Management’ is the one that ‘picks’ these guys.

How long has Holmgren been in charge? What is his ‘record’ win – loss in Cleveland. When I saw the tv reporting on Haslam first visit, Haslam had Holmgren walking behind him as if he was ‘ignoring’ him. When Haslam gets NFL owners approval in October, I think he ‘relieve’ Holmgren of his duties. After all, even Haslam could do as well as ’32’ in the league.

Holmgren is NOT what the media preceive of him. He won ONE, count ONE superbowl on the coattails of Brett Favre, AND lost his GM duties in Seattle and lost the SuperBowl to Pittsburgh a division rival to the Browns. Heck go back and watch the Steelers a year ago playing in Cleveland, they ran the same play that beat Seattle in the SuperBowl, receiver throws a TD Pass…. COME ON MAN

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:37:28 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2030252This team is never going to be good until they bring in some quality talent, something they have very little of right now other than Joe Thomas and Joe Haden who isn’t even playing.

They will regret not pulling the trigger for RGIII for the next decade unless they get Barkley this year which is very likely.

It’s a shame that this team may struggle for another few years because a new front office should take over next season and even though Weeden doesn’t look that bad, he is absolutely not standing in the way of them drafting a top QB. Also no idea why they went with a RB in the top 5 when no one runs the ball anymore and you can’t establish the run in that division. This team is screwed.

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:36:55 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2030250A few things to remember with Greg Little that nobody is going to mention. Let me preface the facts by stating that he MUST start catching balls that hit his hands. You can really tell that most his issues with drops are concentration, as he tends to turn his head upfield before securing the ball.

1) Little was a RB turned WR. He is only 3 years removed from that
2) Little lost 1 season of college then straight to the NFL
3) Little only had 1 season as a WR in college
4) Most WRs have a transition period to the NFL & a guy who was coming off a missed season & only 1 season as a WR is going to have a bigger learning curve.

I would say Little will begin to be much more consistent around week 6 of this season & begin to cure his concentration lapses.

Browns need to stop scrimping on wide outs and get the man some help because Weeden actually could get a team to the playoffs and Richardson is a threat.

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:15:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1333338#comment-2030187I know it sounds like a knee jerk reaction, but I would cut him this morning.

Number one, it would send a message to the rest of the team that this isn’t the Old Browns where poor performances are acceptable.

Number two, you’ve got a very promising rookie QB, who even though he’s 28, could still be a viable franchise QB for 8-10 years, and you are killing his confidence with clown wideouts.

The Browns are the youngest team in the league and are obviously a couple of years from being serious contenders. NOW is the time to make the kind of statement about what is expected of these young players that cutting Little today would make loud and clear.

It was nice to see Cleveland hang, perhaps they are headed in the right direction(this time?).

Whoever gave the thumbs up on this guys’ attitude should be the first to go. He’s T.O. light…the difference is T.O. catches the ball.

If the Browns like receivers who celebrate like they’ve been there before (even though they haven’t) on every play, then why not sign Plaxico, Ocho and T.O.?? At least then they’d have players with attitude who can actually CATCH the ball!
